PAX Australia detailed

Several publishers have confirmed their attendance, and maps and the show schedule for PAX Australia are now live.

Microsoft confirmed earlier today that it will be showcasing the Xbox One hardware each day on the main stage, while PAX has released a Guidebook showing maps and schedules for the day.

In the map, publishers look to be confirmed to be in attendance including Ubisoft, Nintendo (which was confirmed earlier in the year), Sega Creative Assembly (with Total War: Rome 2), Mindscape (with PES 2014, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and Ninja Gaiden Z Yaiba) and AIE appear to have a booth for Saint's Row IV.

Meanwhile, Bioware confirmed that it'll be sending special guests down to attend the event as well.

There are some publishers notably absent from the map, but two of the largest booth sections are marked 'unannounced', and PAX has confirmed there are more reveals to be had between now and launch.
